    Might be a good time to transition to F/T if possible.

    Also, ditch the seperate feeding tub. It's old school and proven counter productive over time.
    There's literally ZERO benefit to feeding tubs

    It isn't a tub it is a separate tank and everyone has their own opinion on where or how to feed their snake I choose to feed her in a separate tank just because it is easier to clean up after when the rat poops all over and also if I end up having to keep it for much longer like when my snake goes on feeding strikes

    You sated the rat ate some bread. Did the bread have any mold (or the feed) on it? Moldy bread causes tremorgenic mycotoxins. It will kill rats, dogs, pigs an the like. Lost a heifer cow years ago because of it.


    Could just be bad luck. I'm glad your snake is ok.
